The Government of India has asked Google to stop displaying surrogate ads of overseas betting companies in search results and on YouTube as well, amid online gambling crackdown in the country.
The Indian government has asked Google to stop displaying ads for overseas betting companies, such as Fairplay, PariMatch, Betway, and 1xBet, in search results and on YouTube. This request follows the government’s previous request to broadcasters and video streaming services to remove advertisements for these companies.
A person in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) has confirmed that a letter was sent to Google India last week, asking the company to immediately remove all advertising for these betting platforms, both direct and surrogate.
